I remember doing this years ago. Remove thermostat from the car and drop it into a pot and then pour boiling water over it. If it's good you will see it change shape as the bellows function. If this doesn't happen replace it. Just bear in mind that the Audi can't be driven without a thermostat, so if you have no other transport see if you can buy a replacement thermostat on a sale or return basis!
faulty thermostats show as two things
stuck close --overheating with in 10 minutes of driving
stuck open--- not reaching operating temperature with in 20 minutes of driving
the test is to remove it have test it as per instructions for testing thermostats
Are they blinking from the moment you start or only after it's overheating? Replacing the relay as well as addressing any other obvious stuff would be the first step. Check coolant level and condition, assure the pressure cap is good and there's no leaks.
First of all check the fan fuse to c if it's ok if it is then replace your fan switch on the side of the radiator cause that tells the fan when to come and it's a common fault on most vw cars if all else fails u will need to test and c if the fan is still working,u can check that by either putting direct power to the fans wiring if it does work then change the thermostat
You need to replace the clutch slave.....Ii recently did mine, after the installation it was stuck too.......the way I fix it was I had a friend pumping the clutch by hand while I bleed it under the car, it took about 15-20 minutes before it got hard again. Good luck!
Follow the upper and lower radiator hoses to the engine block (upper first). At the end of one of these hoses, there will be a "bubble" housing attached to block -- thermostat is under that.
you need to take a multimeter to the wires on the motor and if voltage is going to the window motor then you have a bad window motor and it needs to be replaced. I hope that helps you out.
than check the battery plug is it connected to generator or not or if you have dc volt meter than check when engine racing up variation still occured at different engine race than its ok if dont effected than change your battery cables..
